Zhang Tan played football with Xiaobai in the yard for a while and then took her back home.
"You sit here and watch TV. I'm still cooking. By the way, have you eaten?"
"Eat it." Xiaobai glanced around with big eyes, looking for something.
"Are you looking for something?"
"My silkworm baby?"
"Oh, by the way, your silkworms are here, but..."
Xiaobai suddenly became nervous.
"Claw? You squealed my silkworm baby? You killed my silkworm baby??"
Zhang Tan couldn't laugh or cry, "No, no, how could I beat your silkworm babies to death? I just want to tell you that your silkworm babies are no longer babies. They have grown up. Just like your little feet, you used to
Your shoes were too big and the football would knock them off, but now your feet have grown and the shoes fit just right."
Xiaobai looked at his little Jiojio curiously. She was wearing flat white shoes, moving her toes and laughing.
Zhang Tan took out a bamboo basket from the study room. There was a thick layer of mulberry leaves inside, and seven or eight large silkworms were eating the leaves.
The reason why it was placed in the study was to avoid Xi'er and the others. They were afraid of these silkworms and would scream at the sight of them when they came here to play, so Zhang Tan simply put them in the study.
Xiaobai looked at the silkworms in the bamboo basket, and his mouth opened in surprise.
"Oh haha~~~"
I wanted to pick it up but didn't dare to pick it up. I looked up at Zhang Tan and looked down at the "silkworm baby" with a confused look on his face.
"Silkworm, silkworm baby?"
"It's the silkworm babies you gave me. They have grown up and become like this."
Xiaobai wrinkled her little face and looked at the big silkworms in the bamboo basket. They were old and disabled. They were cute when there were no silkworm babies. What a shame. She had only been away for more than ten days and she was like this.
Hey, Maomaoqiong???
"Boss Zhang~~"
Xiaobai asked him tactfully, what on earth did she feed her silkworm baby, and why did it inflate and turn into a hairy poor thing???
"I didn't feed them anything else, even mulberry leaves, and they only ate mulberry leaves. Don't be surprised, silkworms will look like this when they grow up. This is normal. After a while, they will spin silk and make cocoons.
Wrap yourself up and become a pupa, and the pupa becomes a moth.”
"Fly??" Xiaobai was shocked.
"Yes, it can fly. Okay, just take it and return it to you."
Xiaobai hesitated and rubbed his little hands, like a baby fly, unwilling to pick up.
Her cute silkworm baby turned into a big silkworm, like Mao Maoqiong, and became crippled. She was a little scared. She was afraid of Mao Maoqiong.
But she couldn't show her fear of silkworm babies in front of Boss Zhang. They were her babies. How could she be afraid of them? How could she not want them? No matter how disabled they were, she couldn't abandon them.
Her little face was twitchy and her expression was calm, but her hips were trembling and she was confused all the time. She couldn't understand that all her cute silkworm babies had turned into nothing.
Zhang Tan went back to the kitchen to cook. She was holding a bamboo basket in the living room. The more she looked at it, the more something was wrong. This Mao Maoqiong was too big. Could it crawl around and crawl into her hands?
She held a paw and a basket full of stuffed animals~~~~
Zhang Tan was cooking in the kitchen, and tonight he was cooking braised pork. Xiaobai came in with a silkworm baby in his hands, and stood at his feet asking questions. Her silkworm baby became like this.
While Zhang Tan was cooking, he explained to her how silkworms evolved.
"Put down the silkworms, let's wash our hands and eat." Zhang Tan brought the last dish of fried king oyster mushrooms to the table and called Xiaobai to eat together.
"I took methane."
"Eat some more. Look, there is meat you like. Oh yes, it's quack. Try some."
Zhang Tan took the bamboo basket away from Xiao Bai's hand, put it on the coffee table in the living room, and asked Xiao Bai to wash his hands.
He turned on the faucet, took Xiaobai's little hand, put it under the faucet, squeezed a little hand sanitizer and rubbed it into bubbles.
Xiaobai's little hands are so small, like a little bear's paws, soft and soft.
"Where do you live?"
Xiaobai turned around strangely and asked Zhang Tan why he wanted to help her wash her hands.
Zhang Tan smiled and said: "I have to wash my hands too. Let's wash our hands together to save water."
Xiaobai thought for a while, said oh, and turned off the faucet after washing.
Zhang Tan: "No, I haven't washed myself yet."
"Hoohoho~~~ha~"
Xiaobai ran away and laughed. Of course she saw the bubbles on Boss Zhang's hand. She did it on purpose, haha.
Xiaobai really had dinner. Although he sat at the dining table, he didn't eat much, so he just thought about it and ate a few pieces.
Gaga is so delicious.
At the dinner table, Zhang Tan asked her about her experience in Qicheng. Although the two of them talked on the phone a lot, and the children talked about some of it on the phone, that was definitely not all.
"What? You said the baby is like a bauble?"
Xiaobai nodded, "Really."
A newborn baby looks wrinkled and wrinkled like an old man.
"What? The baby is also called Xiaobai?"
Zhang Tan was really surprised this time. There weren't enough novices. The ones in Baijia Village and the ones on the construction site not far from Little Red Horse were all novices before, and now another one appeared.
Xiaobai nodded and said confusedly that she didn’t know what was going on. Her uncle called her Xiaobao Xiaobai, her aunt also called her Xiaobao Xiaobai, brother Xiaoqiang also called her Xiaobao Xiaobai, and so did my sister-in-law.
Xiaobai said, looking downcast, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Tan noticed that her mood suddenly dropped.
Xiaobai jumped off the chair, came to the living room, picked up the bamboo basket from the coffee table, sat on the sofa, and stared at the silkworms eating mulberry leaves in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Tan put down his bowls and chopsticks, followed him out, sat next to Xiao Bai, and asked softly.
"Uncle~~"
"Here you are."
"I like my silkworm babies again." Xiaobai said, she really didn't like these silkworm babies just now because they were not cute anymore and they were so big, like Mao Maoqiong, but now she likes them again.
She couldn't explain the reason. She was still too young and didn't understand her own emotions, let alone her own heart.
In fact, at a certain moment just now, deep in her heart she felt like a silkworm that had grown up and was no longer cute.
My uncle and aunt have a baby. They like it very much, and she also likes it.
But she felt like she had lost something.
On the way back from Qicheng, she had been wondering about it and couldn't figure it out.
Just now, she thought of something.
She did lose some things, such as the name she grew up with.
"Xiaobai" is no longer entirely hers.
"Hey~~~What are you thinking about? In a daze?"
Zhang Tan bumped into Xiaobai's little body, but he couldn't control the force, causing the little guy to stumble and fall from the edge of the sofa.
“Where do you live??!!!”
Xiaobai stared at him fiercely, and soon saw that it was Boss Zhang. His face softened a lot, and he pouted, "Boss Zhang, where do you live? I'll nag you if you hit me hard."
Zhang Tan couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I used too much force. Did you feel any pain from the fall?"
